With each new month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes a new batch of fish and bugs to catch, but also seasonal fish and bugs that will no longer be available–sometimes for months at a time. If you’re a completionist, these limited and sometimes extremely rare critters are the ones you should focus on, and it’s recommended that you get a head start. It may just be the start of April, but unless you want a repeat of last month’s last-minute Stringfish hunts, you’ll be thanking yourself for tracking these critters down early.
April marks your last chance to catch some big fish in the Northern Hemisphere and say goodbye to the notorious tarantula until later this year. Southern Hemisphere players will see a load of fish and bugs leaving at month’s end.
For a more comprehensive list of critters, hit up our Animal Crossing: New Horizons fish guide and bug guide, which include the full list of what we’ve caught so far, tips on how to catch, and more. Don’t forget to check out what fish and bugs are new in April as well.

Here’s the list of fish and bugs that are leaving after this month is up, for players in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Catch them while you still can!
Northern Hemisphere
Fish Leaving After April
Fish Time Location Price Blue Marlin All day Pier 10,000 Dab All day Ocean 300 Tuna All day Pier 7,000 Blue Marlin and Tuna are both ocean fish, but to catch them specifically, you’ll need to cast your reel off the wooden pier on your island. This is not the same pier as the one leading to your airport. If there are no fish near your pier, you can craft and throw bait to attract new spawns until you get what you want.
Bugs Leaving After April
Bug Time Location Price Tarantula 7 PM – 4 AM Ground 8,000 That’s right–the infamous tarantula is saying goodbye in the Northern Hemisphere until November! If you’re up for it, going on a Mystery Tour to find the deserted tarantula island is one of the best ways to make money in New Horizons right now, so stock up while you still can. You can also create a tarantula island farm, but the recent arrival of the giant water bug has broken tarantula farming spawn rates. It hasn’t been rendered impossible, just a lot more tedious.
